BETA Technologies Soars Public at $7.5B—But Can Its Electric Aircraft Take Off?
BETA Technologies, a leading electric aircraft manufacturer, went public in November 2025 with a valuation of $7.5 billion. The company, founded in 2017 by Kyle Clark, now employs 900 people and aims to revolutionize aerospace with its fully electric planes. Despite strong ambitions, its stock has fallen since the IPO, now trading at $30 per share.
The Vermont-based firm focuses on building electric aircraft, propulsion systems, and related components. Its flagship model, the ALIA CTOL, has already logged over 100,000 nautical miles in test flights. The plane is set to receive FAA certification in 2026, with 331 units in the backlog—131 of which are confirmed orders.
In September 2025, GE Aerospace invested $300 million into BETA Technologies ahead of its stock market debut. The company also develops the ALIO VTOL, a vertical takeoff model, alongside larger aircraft currently in development. Despite progress, financial reports for the third quarter of 2025 showed revenues of $8.9 million against operating losses of $80 million.
BETA Technologies continues to expand its electric aircraft portfolio, backed by major investments and a growing order book. The company's share price has dipped since its November IPO, reflecting ongoing challenges in scaling production. FAA certification for the ALIA CTOL in 2026 remains a key milestone for its future.
